Payment

Within seven days of purchasing an item, you must submit the full purchase price, plus VAT and a Transaction Fee (described in Fees & Taxes).

After you purchase an item, an IronPlanet representative will give you instructions on submitting your payment into the secure bank account assigned to your transaction. Payments must be made by electronic funds transfer.

A secure bank account is used for two reasons:

1. To assure you that you don't pay the seller for equipment before receiving it and finalizing the transaction; and
2. To assure sellers that they will receive full payment upon your receipt and acceptance of the equipment.

Once full payment from the buyer has posted into the secure bank account assigned to the transaction, IronPlanet will notify the buyer and seller alike that the money has been deposited. At this point the buyer will be provided with the location of the equipment and the seller must release the equipment for shipment. After the item reaches the buyer and is accepted, IronPlanet will authorize the secure bank account to release the funds to the seller.
